Summary
At its Feb. 24 meeting, the Park City Council unanimously adopted a technical ordinance correction, appointed a community relations board member, approved a senior apartment site plan and several construction change orders tied to stormwater and waterline work. Several items passed on unanimous votes.
Park City — The Park City Council on Feb. 24 unanimously approved a set of routine and project-specific items, including a correction to a recently adopted ordinance, the appointment of William Tipping to the Community Relations Board, a site plan for Lancaster Square Senior Apartments, final plat approval for the Briar Brook subdivision and several change orders affecting stormwater and water infrastructure projects.
The council opened with an invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance before taking a series of formal votes. An attorney for the city said the earlier ordinance contained an incorrect municipal code citation and recommended replacing the reference to section 11-2-17 with 11-2-18. "The ordinance you adopted last week referenced section 11 2 17 of the codethat already exists and deals with theft of catalytic converters," the attorney said, recommending the correction. The council then adopted Ordinance 1234-2026 by roll call, with each member voting aye.
Why it matters: The ordinance correction removes an erroneous code reference that staff said could create enforcement confusion. The meeting also cleared a series of land-use and capital items that advance planned development and infrastructure work in Park City.
The council appointed William Tipping to the Community Relations Board for a term expiring January 2028. Charlie Davidson moved and Jim Schrader seconded the appointment; the motion carried unanimously.
On land use, staff described the Lancaster Square Senior Apartments project, proposed by TCRS LLC and Mennonite Housing Inc., as a two-story residential building on about 3.2 acres with 21 one-bedroom and 29 two-bedroom units. A project representative explained there will be main entrances front and back and interior corridors; the building will include one elevator to access the upper level. Troy Hill said he was "excited for this" and moved to approve the site plan "as presented per staff comments." John Wells seconded; the motion passed 7-0.
The council also approved the Briar Brook fifth-edition final plat. Staff described the filing as a replat of a portion of an existing subdivision into 20 lots on roughly 2.6 acres; the motion to approve, made by Jim Schrader and seconded by Linda Westhafer, passed unanimously.
Infrastructure approvals included a change order with Apex Excavating LLC to lower and upsize an identified water line at Evanston Crossing from 4 inches to 8 inches at a cost not to exceed $36,265, to be paid from the utility fund. Gina, a staff presenter, said the work was identified during phase 1 stormwater construction potholing and a water main break; she told the council the upsize "is consistent with our annual program to replace aging and outdated water lines." The council approved the change order 7-0.
Council also approved change orders with Don Langer Construction related to the phase 2 stormwater drainage project after staff described design errors discovered during a final walkthrough. Staff said the change orders total $179,035 (change order 5 = $15,475; change order 6 = $163,560) and that the city would be reimbursed $21,500 by the engineering consultant (JEO) for agreed mobilization costs. Jim Schrader moved to approve the change orders to be paid from the capital projects fund; the motion passed 7-0.
The council adopted the proposed 2027 budget calendar, which includes three special budget work sessions set for June 9, July 14 and July 28 and a June 9 start time of 5:00 p.m. for that session's presentations. Staff noted the calendar is subject to change depending on ongoing state legislative action.
In remarks near the meeting's end, council members announced the new senior center will open the following day at 3:00 p.m. and congratulated Sergeant Keith Goodall, introduced at the meeting as the Park City Police Department's 2025 officer of the year. "He has been a dependable leader and a strong example for those he supervises," a presenter said when recognizing Goodall.
